1997 Cadillac Seville STS review from North America
"Looks good, very comfortable, bad investment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump has been replaced twice and still leaks coolant from somewhere.
Electrical problems caused car to cut off going down highway.
Misfires on cylinders 2 and 7 at different times.
General comments?
This car is great as far as comfort is concerned.
Too many computers and sensors all over car causing serious headaches.
Oil consumption not to big of a deal even with 90,000+ miles.
So expensive to repair even for the smallest of problems.
Front wheel drive in a big car with a V8 was a dumb idea.
